Chapter 55 King's Landing in Hebei

After a night's rest, the judge had never led a leader alone, and he was physically and mentally exhausted from experiencing such a major battle for the first time. Pen fun Pavilion www.biquge.info// update fast //

The day was bright, and the trial was still asleep, and he was woken up by his nephew Zhenrong.

When she opened her eyes, Mimi saw Xianrong's trembling expression.

This nephew is the captain of Yecheng's Dong Mén, whether he has real skills or not, in fact, everyone knows that Yuan Shao has a lot of talents under his rule, but because the scholars are in a big relationship, they can go to the back to get some official positions.

Just looking at Xian Rong's current expression, you can know how far he is from ordinary people.

It's just a crowd.

The trial match came to his senses, grabbed the trial Rong and asked, "Is there a change in the military situation?" ”

Xian Rong opened his mouth and stammered, unable to say a word, only nodding his head constantly.

The interrogator couldn't come up with a reason, so he quickly put on his clothes and ran to the city.

Riding a horse all the way, the judge was suspicious in his heart, the city was silent, the people were closed, and there was no shouting outside the city, but why did the judge have a ghostly expression?

Walking up to the top of the city, the judge leaned on the city wall and looked outward, and suddenly became suspicious.

Cao Jun came to the outside of the city early in the morning, not to attack the city, but to dig a long trench.

Cao cào dug a lot of trenches, especially against Yuan Shao, the trenches dug by Cao cào simply stretched for hundreds of miles, deep and wide, but it was a fortification, at that time Cao cào was defending, and now Cao cào is attacking, and he is still digging trenches?

The judge stood at the head of the city and looked carefully at the trench and watched closely.

I saw that the trench was so narrow and shallow that any adult could jump over it, and the judge thought self-righteously: Maybe Cao Cào was in case he sent people out of the city to raid.

Hahahaha

Looking up to the sky and laughing, the judge was suddenly relieved.

Cao cào, military talent is in vain!

What is the use of digging such a trench that does not have any blocking power? On the contrary, the soldiers of the three armies were exhausted.

This long trench was dug along the outside of Yecheng, forty miles long!

In the eyes of the judge, this has no lethality, as for the judgment that was frightened to the six gods, most of them were shocked by Cao Cào's famous murderous name, and Cao Cào's unexpected actions are taboo.

On Cao Jun's side, Cao Cào stood outside the camp tent and watched with a smile as the soldiers digging trenches, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Yu Ban, Xu Huang, all of them were confused, and the only person who really knew the intention was Cheng Yu.

Yu Ban also ran to the front to see the trench, although he couldn't step over one step, but as long as he jumped on the tui, it was easy to cross over, not to mention adults, children can jump well, they can pass. 4∴8065

Returning to Cao Cào's side, Yu Ban scratched his head and asked, "Lord, this, this, the last general really doesn't understand, what is the use of this long trench?" Please also ask the lord to make it clear. ”

Cao cào laughed, and kept patting Yu Ban's shoulder without explaining.

Ten days later, the judge was accustomed to this rhythm of war, sleeping and eating normally, and Jing Shen was not as nervous as he was at the beginning of the war.

Xian Rong came to the trial again, this time his face was still bloodless, and he trembled and slurred his words to the trial: "Cao, Cao, Cao, Cao, Cao......"

"What happened to Cao Cào? Don't be a soldier, Cao Cào didn't attack the city for ten days, I'm afraid he is waiting for our army to relax its vigilance, as long as our army itself does not relax, it will not give Cao Cào a chance to take advantage of. ”

The judge is very calm now, he thinks that either Cao Jun is doing his own useless work, or he is doing useless work at his own expense.

But the trial Rong pulled the trial and walked out with a sad face when the sky fell, and the trial was helplessly taken out of the house by him, and then rode a fast horse to the city, walked up to the city with steady steps, looked out, and the judge fell dizzily and fell to the city, but fortunately the trial Rong stopped him.

A fist slammed into the city walls, and the judge gritted his teeth, staring incredulously at the scene outside the city.

The forty-mile-long trench was widened by two zhang overnight, and the depth was about two zhang as far as the eye could see.

And Cao Cào rode a horse opposite the moat, and when he saw the judge appear at the head of the city, he shouted at him with a smile: "Hehehe, judge the south, prick up your ears, and listen carefully." ”

"Cao thief, you have something to say!"

The judge was furious, and Cao Cào's high-spirited gesture made him extremely angry.

But Cao Cào didn't follow, just smiled and turned his head, and didn't say anything to the judge.

Thundered

The sound of raging water suddenly came.

There was silence, as if only the majestic sound of water was gradually rising in my ears.

The judge turned his head and looked at it, shocked!

Water!

The gushing water poured in from the end of the moat, and the water was tumbling in anger, filling the forty-mile-long trench outside the city in the blink of an eye.

"Cao thief! You don't have to die well! ”

The trial roared to the sky.

He had already thought that Cao Cào had dug up the water and introduced it into the trench.

Yecheng, after this moment, has become an island!

After the turbulent river churned, it became calm, and in the eyes of the Yecheng soldiers, Cao Cào turned his horse's head and looked up to the sky and laughed unscrupulously and slapped the horse away.

The judge sat at the head of the city as if he was weightless, his face was bloodless, and his eyes were blank.

Finished!

It's not just Yecheng, which has less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, is dead!

The people of the city will not be spared!

Hebei was originally a rich land, with abundant grain reserves, but after the fiasco in Yuan Shaoguan, he came back to expand the army to 700,000, Hebei's grain revenue and expenditure has entered a state of making ends meet, Yuan Shao was defeated in the battle of Guandu, and the strength of soldiers and horses was greatly reduced, but there was no recovery and recuperation under the rule, Yuan Shang succeeded to the throne and Yuan Tan's internal fighting, plus Yuan Xi had actually broken away from Yuan Shang's Yuan family in Youzhou, Jizhou's grain reserves were not optimistic, Yuan Shang fought Yuan Tan in Qingzhou, and it was not only the soldiers and horses that were exhausted, but also the grain of Jizhou.

The grain storage in the city was less than two months' needs, and it was only at this time that the trial came to realize that Cao Cào's tactic was to trap them in Yecheng.

If there was no river outside the city, the trial would still be desperate to break through before the food was exhausted, but now with this man-made barrier, the trial knew that if it broke through, it would just be sent to death.

People can't cross that river, even if they build a bridge, how can Cao Jun turn a blind eye?

Although he didn't want to admit it, a touch of sadness rose from the bottom of his heart.

flourished for a while, glorifying the century-old Yuan family.

The gas is exhausted!

The situation in Hebei, Cao Cào has been paying close attention, a fire in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cào burned the grain and grass needed by Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then Hebei fell into the civil war of the Yuan family, and the shortage of grain and grass was expected.

Therefore, when attacking Yecheng, Cao Cào only needs to besiege the city to win.

The difference is that without the river he dug, if the other party is burned, then his damage will definitely not be optimistic, with this river dug by himself, he can calmly and easily resist the enemy.

Riding back to the barracks, Cao Cào turned over and dismounted, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Yu Ban, and Xu Huang greeted him, and the four generals had respect and smiles on their faces.

Cao Cào said as he walked: "Xiahou Yuan listened to the order and ordered you to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush in the southeast of Yecheng, calculate the days, Yuan Shang learned that Yecheng was besieged, and he would definitely lead the army back to help, so you will give him a head-on attack." ”

"The last will obey."

Xiahou Yuan took the errand and retreated, and went down to gather his troops and horses to go out.

"Li Dian, Yu Ban, the two of you take turns commanding the besieging soldiers, if anyone in Yecheng goes out of the city to cross the river, regardless of the army and civilians, kill."

The second general clenched his fists and left.

Xu Huang looked forward to Cao Cào for a long time and found that Cao Cào had no orders!

He hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up with Cao Cào, half a position behind Cao Cào and said: "Hey, lord, this, the other three generals have fought, what about me?" ”

Cao Cào stopped and turned his head to glance at Xu Huang, and said with a light smile: "Gongming, since I took you on the expedition, of course I won't let you be useless, wait, the enemy of Hebei, not only Yuan Shang, when Yecheng is broken, you will have to help me clean up another unsuccessful descendant of the Yuan family." ”

Xu Huang thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Yuan Xi?" ”

Cao Cào shrugged his shoulders and laughed, shook his head and said, "Confused! Yuan Tan! ”

Xu Huang looked surprised.

Yuan Tan ?!

If you want to clean him up, won't you have a chance last year?

Yuan Tan is Cao Cào's in-laws!

He even sent his NV to Cao's house!

Yecheng was in a hurry, and it had been more than half a month when the military situation was conveyed to Yuan Shang in Qingzhou, and the war between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan had always been in a state of stalemate, and neither could defeat the other, and neither of them was willing to stop there, but the person who led the war was still Yuan Shang.

Faced with the dying appearance of the base camp Yecheng, Yuan Shang was very unhappy but had to wave his army back to Jizhou to save Yecheng.

It's a pity that he also lacks confidence, especially his soldiers and horses are less than 30,000 left, and he has fought with Yuan Tan for a year, and has exhausted all the soldiers and horses, and has run out of grain and grass, while Cao Cào's soldiers and horses are still so many, but the comparison between the two sides has already reversed the strength and weakness.

Yuan Shang led the army from Qingzhou to Jizhou in nearly 20 days, on the one hand, he had to hurry up, and on the other hand, he had to guard against Yuan Tan, who was chasing after him.

Yuan Tan, the son of the Yuan family, has been suppressed by the third child for more than a year, and he has long been full of resentment, and now that he finally has a chance, how can he let it go?

Yuan Shang seems to be going back to save Yecheng, but it is more like Cao Cào blocking the road in front and Yuan Tan chasing and killing in the back.

Yuan Shang led his army to approach Yecheng, and encountered an ambush by Xiahou Yuan at the bend of Zhangshui, but on the first day of the first month, Yuan Shang's Ma Yan and others surrendered on their knees, and even more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were captured.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shang's soul was scattered, how dare he, how could he still have the confidence to save Yecheng?

With less than 10,000 defeated soldiers, Yuan Shang bypassed Yecheng and fled to Zhongshan.

Cao Cào did not send troops to chase and kill, but Yuan Tan persevered and followed Yuan Shang to kill.

A large area of Jizhou north of Yecheng fell into the hands of Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang was killed out of Zhongshan.

Yuan Shang, who was at the end of his rope, remembered that in addition to a big brother who was against him everywhere, he also had a second brother, so he fled to Youzhou and attached himself to Yuan Xi.

In August, Yecheng was besieged for three months, and most of the soldiers and civilians in the city starved to death.

The nephew of the trial Rong secretly surrendered to Cao in order to survive, and opened the city in the middle of the night to welcome the Cao army into the city, and the last soldiers and horses of the trial and the Cao army fought in the streets of Yecheng all night, and finally lost, and Yecheng fell!

Cao Cào personally persuaded him to surrender the trial, but he would rather die than obey, Cao Cào fulfilled his reputation and loyalty, and killed him for a good burial.

Yecheng is the symbol of the Yuan family's leadership of Hebei, at this moment, the head of Yecheng, the erected banner, there is only a thick "Cao" character on it.
